dria chat

Have multi-turn conversations with persistent history. Each conversation is stored locally at ~/.dria/chats/ and can be continued later.

Start a new conversation

dria chat -m qwen3.5:9b "What is Rust?"

This prints the response and a conversation ID (e.g., a1b2c3d4).

Use the conversation ID from above:

dria chat a1b2c3d4 "Tell me more about ownership"

The full message history is sent with each request, so the model has context from previous turns.

dria chat a1b2c3d4

dria chat list

dria chat delete a1b2c3d4

Set a system prompt when starting a new conversation:

dria chat -m qwen3.5:9b --system "You are a helpful coding assistant" "How do I read a file in Python?"

The system prompt persists for the entire conversation.

echo "explain monads" | dria chat -m qwen3.5:9b
